Hey Sparkles! Today I am going to post about the one thing kids have been dreading and moms have been wanting all summer… going back to school.

Going back to school is always a big deal; getting school supplies, making sure you have the proper uniform, wondering if all your friends will be back, etc. I would like all my Sparkles to be prepared for school, so I will put a link in here for some basic school supplies, such as colored pencils, crayons, glue sticks, handheld pencil sharpeners, and pencils. I really like school, well, except for math and science. Thankfully, I am not taking thirteen classes again this year like I did last year. Apparently, the teachers all assign about 3 or 4 hours of homework per week. Now, I’m no math whiz, but 13 times 3 is 39, and I tend to procrastinate till about 20 hours before the assignments are due. 20 hours is not enough time to do 39 hours of homework, plus I have to sleep.

Get this, Sparkles, do NOT pull an all-nighter to get your homework done. Awakeness in class is more important than the homework.

Other things I need for back to school

A good backpack to hold my stuff, some lip balm, a calculator, hairties and ponytail holders, water bottles, a pencil box, binders, notebooks, a planner, and three slightly fabricated stories of what you did over the summer. The story of Pterodactyl Spotted in Houston County is pretty cool. You can use that, but please tell your teacher I made it up, not you.

Thanks for reading, Sparkles! I hope this school year is good to you and that you love all your classes and peers. Sparkles away!!!
